Movie Reviews

Daily Telegraph (UK) - 10/10 by Charlotte RuncieAlthough the Muppets pile on the wit and child-friendly slapstick, they never dumb down, and never compromise their story's literary origins.

Antagony & Ecstasy - 9/10 by Tim BraytonNot, maybe, the most rigorous of Christmas Carol adaptations, although it is a lot more faithful than one would perhaps have expected... at any rate a great Muppet film.

Groucho Reviews - 8/10 by Peter CanaveseStrikes just the right balance of irony and sincerity...genuinely heartwarming, from its opening dedication to Henson and Hunt to its joy-to-the-world finale. [Blu-ray]

Chicago Sun-Times - 8/10 by Roger EbertLike all the Muppet movies, this one is a musical, with original songs by Paul Williams (my favorite is the early chain-rattling duet by the Marley brothers). It could have done with a few more songs than it has.

Common Sense Media - 8/10 by Heather BoernerA gentle, fuzzy version of the Dickens classic.

Total Film - 8/10 by Neil SmithThere are plenty of laughs and a host of memorable songs crooned by everyone from Miss Piggy to Statler and Waldorf.

Deseret News, Salt Lake City - 8/10 by Chris HicksDirector Brian Henson, son of the late Jim Henson, has captured his father's vision and carries on the tradition better than anyone could have expected.

Movie Metropolis - 7/10 by James PlathThe late Jim Henson would have been proud of the job that his son did directing this production. It's a solid Muppets feature. Call it "The Muppets Take Dickensian London."

Movie Metropolis - 7/10 by John J. PuccioIt's hard not to smile at this one and be moved by it at the same time. (Anniversary Edition)

Hollywood Reporter - 6/10 by Henry SheehanThe fit between sentiment and satire is not always a comfortable one and the more dedicated fans of either the story or the Muppets may leave theaters dissatisfied.
